WJR now has a worse AQH share in ages 6+ than 890 WLS in Chicago!!!
WLS is slowly rising (in a market where more mainstream choices for spoken word programming exist than Detroit) and is now at its best mark in probably several years whereas WJR's numbers have quickly plummeted.
My PPM encoding comment earlier was not meant to be tongue in cheek, btw. I think it's a realistic possibility.
You know it's bad when WLS is outperforming you in any demo whatsoever, let alone the 6+.
To be honest, the PPM equipment is working just fine, but the format itself is slowly failing. Outside of WMAL-FM, the legacy ABC Radio talkers are all doing horribly or are very stagnant (that includes the soon-to-be-sold WABC and the basically unsellable KABC). I guess it was a matter of time before WJR just fell apart.
